To all above contributors: Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my post.

Ibix: Thank you for hearing my question. Your answer is helpful to me. I would love to know if it's possible to shoot slow speed muons through rock as a comparison with atmospheric muons. I still think that SR is not ESSENTIAL to making, calibrating and operating muon tomography. You could...

I am very aware of the use of SR to explain the prevalence of muons at sea level. Given that there's a significant quantity of muons at sea level, does the process of detecting muons that have traveled through (pyramid)rock and comparing them to muons that have not traveled through...

I'm not sure either. That's my question.

Muons are a popular way to provide evidence for Special Relativity. But, does Muon Tomography provide evidence for SR? Can you calibrate your muon detectors without reference to SR? Is there any need to refer to SR when interpreting the data? I tutored a high school student who argued the...

Hello. I taught Physics to high schoolers for 20 years. Now I do tutoring and work as a teacher aide in the Design and Tech department of a High School. My wife and I visited England a few years ago. Two highlights for me were visiting the Royal Institution in London and Newton's farmhouse...
